About the Keystone Wholesale Show
Keystone Wholesale Markets, Inc. was formed in 2002 with the primary purpose of helping our local plain businesses sell their products to wholesale buyers from all over the country. Our intent was and still is to focus on Lancaster County, featuring the quality products and crafts made right here in our area. We also include our friends and manufacturers from other parts of PA and even some surrounding states. Imported products are not permitted, nor will we accept poor quality products.
We knew back then that we could not create the kind of quality market we wanted without some local expertise. So we formed an advisory board which includes Elam Esh, Country Value Woodworks, Levi S. Stoltzfus, Custom Woodworking; Sam Ebersol of Lanco Hydraulics; and Rick Esh, Davco Advertising, Inc. These guys not only attend our meetings offering their advice and expertise but they help out at our shows so they have hands on experience.
Each year, this 2 day event features a variety of quality products hand-crafted by many local Amish & Mennonite artists, crafts people, and manufacturers. Our wholesale market includes a Cash-N-Carry Section with lots of quality crafts—birdhouses, art, quilted items, pine crafts & furniture, jams, canned goods, etc. We also have an order writing section featuring furniture and lawn & garden items such as sheds, pergolas, gazebos, etc.
The thing that makes our market somewhat unique is that most of our manufacturers and artists are Amish, Mennonite or plain folks from Lancaster County and other surrounding areas. Buyers appreciate the fact that we have only American, quality made products and that we bring more manufacturers together.....all under one roof!
